Spacious double upper house with balconies in Delft Zeeheldenbuurt

This property is located at Piet Heinstraat 13 in the Zeeheldenbuurt neighborhood of Delft. The property is a double upper house (dubbel bovenhuis) with an approximate living area of 102 square meters. The building was constructed in 1921 and underwent a complete renovation in 2004. The current energy label classification is B, which indicates a reasonable level of energy efficiency for a building of this age.

The entrance to the property is situated on the ground floor. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a hallway featuring a terrazzo floor. This hallway provides access to the meter cupboard and contains the staircase leading to the first floor. The use of terrazzo flooring in the entrance area adds a classic touch that complements the character of the building.

On the first floor landing, you will find a very spacious toilet, a storage area, and the staircase that continues to the second floor. The layout of this floor ensures that essential facilities are conveniently accessible while maintaining a clear flow to the upper levels of the home.

The living room occupies approximately 37 square meters and offers a spacious and atmospheric environment. This sense of space is achieved through the incorporation of an adjoining side room and the open connection to the kitchen area. The character of the living room is enhanced by several original features that have been preserved during the renovation. These include the original three-meter high ceilings, stained glass windows at the front facade, and double doors with large window sections that provide access to the balconies. The living room is finished with solid wooden floorboards throughout, which contribute to the warm and inviting atmosphere of the space.

One of the notable features of this property is the provision of outdoor space in the form of two balconies. The front balcony is oriented towards the southeast, allowing residents to enjoy the morning sun. The rear balcony faces northwest and receives the evening sun. This orientation provides the flexibility to choose between sun and shade at different times of the day, depending on personal preference and the position of the sun.

The kitchen has been maintained in its original position within the layout of the property. However, the functionality and appeal of the space have been significantly improved through modifications. The wall between the kitchen and living room has been opened up, while the entrance from the hallway has been closed off. This reconfiguration creates a much more usable space that is pleasantly connected to the living area, making it ideal for dining and entertaining with family and friends. The kitchen is equipped with a five-burner gas hob, an extractor hood, a combination microwave, a dishwasher, a fridge-freezer combination, a sink, and provides more than sufficient storage and workspace.

The current layout of the property includes two spacious bedrooms, each measuring approximately 11 square meters. Both bedrooms are situated at the rear of the property. The bedrooms feature wooden flooring and are fitted with double glazing. According to the listing, it would be possible to create an additional third bedroom at the front of the property by modifying the current layout, offering flexibility for future owners with different spatial requirements.

The bathroom has been created in the sloping section at the front of the top floor. As was common for properties built in 1921, the original construction did not include a bathroom, so this facility was added during a previous reconfiguration of the space. The bathroom is largely tiled and includes a glass shower cabin with a hand shower and thermostatic tap, a washbasin, a mirror, an electrical point near the washbasin, and a second toilet. The inclusion of a toilet in the bathroom provides additional convenience for the occupants.

The Zeeheldenbuurt neighborhood is characterized by its central location on the edge of the Delft inner city and its proximity to the older sections of the Delft University of Technology. This location ensures that daily amenities are readily accessible. For grocery shopping, the Albert Heijn and Jumbo supermarkets in the city center are approximately a seven-minute walk away. The Nassaulaan, which offers various shops including a Coop supermarket, is about a nine-minute walk. The center of Delft itself is located at a walking distance of approximately five minutes.

The property is also conveniently positioned within a few minutes by bicycle or on foot from various parks, schools, and sports facilities. Public transport connections are available within walking distance, and Delft station can be reached in about five minutes by bicycle. The access roads to the A4 and A13 motorways are nearby, enabling quick travel to Rijswijk, The Hague, or Rotterdam.

From a technical perspective, the property is heated by a Nefit/Bosch Proline CW4 combi boiler that was installed in 2024 and runs on gas. The electrical installation consists of eight groups and one earth leakage switch. Double glazing has been installed in virtually the entire property. The meter cupboard was modernized in 2004. The property has a total volume of 376 cubic meters.

The VvE (Homeowners Association) for the building is currently being established. The division between the upper and lower apartments is set at a ratio of 60/40. At this stage, there is no reserve fund and no maintenance plan in place, which is typical for a newly forming association. Building insurance (opstalverzekering) is in place.

Parking in the area is managed through paid parking, public parking spaces, and parking permits. The rear of the property borders a quiet parking area situated on the private grounds of a retirement home, which provides a peaceful backdrop to the rear of the property.

The asking price for this property is 480,000 euros, which is stated as costs to buyer (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 4,706 euros per square meter of living space. The purchase agreement will include an age clause and materials clause, which are standard provisions for older properties. The buyer has the right to choose the notary, provided the notary is located in Delft or the surrounding area. The transfer date is to be determined by mutual agreement between the parties.
